Juha Hostikka & Dallapé Orchestra: 100 Years!

Guest: Johanna Försti

Europe's longest-running entertainment orchestra, Dallapé, is celebrating its 100th anniversary. The anniversary concert tour begins with the album release concert at Tapiola Hall!

Dallapé has transformed countless songs by Finnish songwriters into evergreen hits and brought international chart-toppers to the Finnish audience. The great names of Finnish orchestral entertainment, from Bruno Laakso and Georg Malmsten to Kauko Käyhkö and Rauno Lehtinen, have been key figures in Dallapé's history, not to mention Olavi Virta, who played guitar and was a lead vocalist for the orchestra.

In 2010, the orchestra's leadership and lead vocals were taken over by Juha Hostikka, who studied singing at the Sibelius Academy and saxophone at the Oulunkylä Pop/Jazz Conservatory. Hostikka has returned Dallapé to its 1930s glory. The carefully arranged entertainment orchestra compositions and the swinging performance are the orchestra's trademarks.

The concert's guest vocalist is the talented Johanna Försti, whose versatility and skill as both a singer and musician are unparalleled in Finland.
